Showing the value of the pick 6 deal we did for him. Reads the play as good as WCE McGovern. 

Don't think he'll get the nod over Andrews, though.

doesn't need to moonie, there are 6 backs in aa team plus 1 more on interchange

    May is almost 29.   Pray to the high heavens we get a few more great seasons out of him yet.

    Would be great if he was a few years younger, but I reckon his type can play on well into their 30s. I think we have at least 3 more good years coming from him. 

    Anyway, after being introduced as “All Australian full back Steven May” on the Sunday Footy Show, he has now been included in SEN’s rolling AA side at CHB. Playing his best game for the season in a prime time match everyone was watching has done his chances a world of good. Like I said earlier in the thread, the media hype plays a huge role in the selection of this team. He deserves to be there in any case.

    Agree with that for sure, think he can be a beast until hes 32-33.

    I'm thinking he has got a light sniff of Finals this year and i think in the run home whoever has the misfortune to play on him will know it...

    Tassie Johnson perhaps? 

    Think Tassie played every position possible for a man his size 

    Ruck all the key positions and back and foward pockets

    A real legend and hero of mine

    I’m glad someone in the media has FINALLY brought his name up, albeit an ex MFC player. The AA team is meant to be based on performance but media hype plays a huge role in it too. People are still talking about Max Gawn being in the mix despite him missing 3 games and playing two average games before that. Love Max but he shouldn’t be in discussions any more. Petracca is locked in and May should be the other Melbourne player in discussions. Perhaps Oliver if he finishes strongly. 

    No other ruckman has played better

    I wish I was a still a naive, optimistic kid. Unfortunately I’m not.

    For instance, I had a $70 fare with Ansett to fly from Sydney to Melbourne to watch the Granny in Sept 2000. It was a 7.00am flight - not flexi, no changes. My mates and I had a big night. I got to bed at 5.30am to have 25 mins sleep. Seemed responsible at the time. Woke up at 7.10am. Desperately rang Ansett almost in tears, in fact I think I was in tears. The dude said if I get to the airport by 7.40am, he’d put me on the already full 8.00am flight (which he did). Turned up by myself in my pyjamas. And they let me on. Made the game.

    It was ultimately a schizen game, and I hated Essendon forever after it, but I think this shows my commitment to this club.

    I’ve literally had a thousand experiences like this ever since. In short, I have many humiliating, yet funny, stories about supporting this very unsuccessful club. I suspect they’re beyond the sensibilities and interests of most Demonlanders but they are the real deal.

    Anyway - I’ve followed this club with a passionate focus and dedication for decades. I know the club, I know it’s history.

    And, in this context, Steven May is the real deal. I reckon he’s the best we’ve had. He’s a leader. And an absolute gun.

    In the meantime, stay classy Demonlanders.

    Any footy lovers would have known how powerful a defender May was at the Suns

    When we picked him up everyone was very excited for what he could bring to our club

    By his own admission he had a horrid last year mostly due to his own poor preparation (and to be fair, moving to a new city and having your missus leave you soon after would poorly effect everyone)

    But this year he has shown us all just how great a player he is

    He might me my favourite player now

    AA for sure.

    Had a few scotches last night.

    Still reckon May is one of the best we’ve had though.

    I heard him interviewed after the game

    He is the Captain of the Backline, no doubt about it

    Speaks so well

    Jesus I was hard on him last year and rightly so.

    But this year he's been one of the most consistent player so far.

    He is one hell of a footballer. Tough, takes no [censored] and a big presence. I like Gawny, but I would easily have this bloke as our captain.

    I thought Steven May played a great game tonight and thoroughly deserved winning the Sony Bravia TV for BOG (Best On Ground) from Richo on Channel 7.

    He’d be a fabulous captain , but I’d like him as he is and not distracted by the captaincy .

    That game should’ve cemented his spot

    Doesn’t seem that there is much fan fare for May getting AA... 

    massive result considering making finals is still a long shot. 

    Trac has also cemented his spot.

    2 x AA selections and we still might not make the finals? gawn and oliver not far off. A good coach would have had us at top 4...

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
